[Zope] Zope and Windows DB's = NOT! ?

2000-11-14 Thread Mark Pratt

hi,

is anybody successfully using a Windows DB such as MS SQL
server 7 with Zope? 

it seems that the ODBC adaptor is ancient and very error 
prone  so can i conclude that Zope and DB integration 
under windows is not an option?

regards,

mark

In general, the ODBC adapter may be old, but it works well and generally
without problems in my experience. In the Zope Book it's even claimed
that it's commercially supported! The point is just that it's single
threaded. If you need to use SQL Server 7 there also is a mxODBC
adapter, that claimed to be multithreaded. I don't know about its status
right now.

wow. we've had exactly the opposite experience and judging
by my informal discussions with other Zope users at the
Systems 2000 convention in Munich -- so have others.

guess i should take a look at that book again.

this was an option we discussed at systems. this adaptor
seems to be continually improved and well supported.

Hmm... are you talking about ZODBCDA 3.0.3 or ZmxODBCDA 0.0.1 ?
I`ve had some problems with ZmxODBCDA but it is only 0.0.1, younger versions
of ZODBCDA were error prone, 3.0.3 is very good.

I found the oDBC stuff works fine with Access and SQLServer. Though passing
variables to the sqlMethod is little bit of a black art

good luck

2000-11-14 Thread Andy McKay

I have used Zope 2.1.6, 2.2.0, 2.2.1, 2.2.2 with MS Access 2000, MS SQL 7
and MS SQL 2000 Beta and Full.

The only problem was with 2.2.0 where permissions broke the ZODBC driver was
broken, there was a patch and 2.2.1 up had the problem fixed.

What version of Zope, OS, ZODBC and DB are you using and what is the
problem?

2000-11-14 Thread Mark Pratt

hello andy, hello all others who answered my post,

first of all thank you for letting me know the positive
experiences you have had with the ODBC adaptor and your
various installations. i'm relieved that Zope and window's 
DB's do work together -- and this prompted some new 
tests on my part.

their still seems to be a minor issue with an error message 
the first time we query a MS SQL 6.5 DB. a few reloads later 
everything seems to work fine. kind of weird.

guess the only major thing left is the single thread issue.

thanks again,

mark

there used to be a similar issue in a previous version, that had to do with
single threads and transactions not being committed. But that was patched
long ago. That's probably not it and I know it's kind of cryptic, just
thought I'd bring it up, just in case.

yes, that's bad.

I use Zope 2.1.6 and ZODBCDA to access an Access database.

I had only the usual Zope 2.1.6 Shared.DC.ZRDB.DA problems.
